12. Inn

Yesterday passed by in a blink and Clauis was sitting in the carriage with his butler Nox. In the academy the servant of the noble must be a beta to avoid any kind of mishaps that is why Christian couldn't come.

Clauis sat and started reading the book again. He would already read the book 1000th time but he kept reading it again and again, everytime learning something new.

....

"Young master we have reached the inn."

Clauis nodded and got off the carriage. The inn was more like a mansion. Clauis felt speechless, what inn? This was no different from a marquis mansion!

Clauis walked in and sat on one of the single sofas in the lodge while nox went to do the paperwork.

🔥 Anyways are you really not going to become a magician?

🌊Cut him some slack salamander!

🌪️ But i wanna show off to those puny humans!

⛰️You need to take Clauis into consideration, if he's discovered to have a contract with 4 spirit kings, just imagine the turmoil it will cause, many humans in high position may use Clauis to go to war to fight!

🌊 Exactly! And showing off wasn't in the term for contracts remember! The deal was, we will be able to see the human society and we protect him in return! So stop fighting!

🔥This isn't fair! Clauis why won't you become a magician!

"It's not worth it" the Martina duchy already had an excellent magician. If he decided to become one, it would seem like he was having a competition with his brother, and if he doesn't surpass his brother he will be ridiculed, and if he surpasses his brother, his brother will be ridiculed, there was no way to accept that. That is why Clauis had decided which path he would walk on it was the path of-

"Young master i am done with the procedures, pls follow me i will escort you!"

Clauis nodded, most of the servants were children raised in the duchy and never had the chance to see the outside world, it was to ensure that the duchy's secrets would not be revealed to the world. And nox happened to be one of them.

Nox opened the door to the room. It looked a modest noble's room, not too gaudy, not too extravagant, not too simple either. The colours were just right too, rather than white, cream colour was used. It looked good.

"Young master the dorm will be smaller than this one."

"As long as there's a soft bed nothing else matters."

"Ofcourse"

Nox smiled in approvement, this was the change his master went through 4 years ago mysteriously, and it was much better than his previous one.

"Will you staying with me in the dorm?"

"No young master, servants have a different quaters for their stays."

"Let's hope it's not that far from the dorm, it will troublesome. I am going to sleep wake me up for dinner and don't bother with anything else."

"Yes, i will arrange your clothes in the cupboard-"

"Don't bother it will troublesome. Just keep it in the suitcase we will be leaving this place three days later anyways"

Nox bowed, "As the young master wishes."

"Do whatever you want, just come to wake me up at dinner, i don't want to miss it. And eat something don't wait for me to eat first, use the money that was given."

"Yes young master."

Nox always thought it was strange, no matter what happened his young master never skipped a meal, even when he had gotten depressed, suicidal, he had heart attack,nightmares, insomnia, his master never skipped a meal, even if he threw it afterwards,he still ate forcing his body to digest it. He didn't understand why. And he never tried to ask it either. Strange enough, his master never lied, if a situation like that came, he would be silent or otherwise would tell the truth.

Nox closed the doors wore a hood and went out in the market and tried a lot of food he never ate before. In the middle of his feast nox thought that his master was really kind, tho he never showed it. Now had a satisfied smile and served his master more efficiently from that day on.
